Remote Desktop Web connection

Hi. I am setting up remote desktop web connection. I have successfully got
it to work internally. I want to allow access from the Internet but i don't
want my users to have to remember a computer name to connect to. Is there a
way to set IP up such that once the user goes to the URL they get directed
to the server and asked to log in? If they have to remember a computer name
that will be head ache for me.
How do i get the remote desktop web connection to be redirected to SSL?

If I understand your question correctly, you would want to set up a routable
IP address, and then point that DNS to a FQDN, such as remote.domain.com.
If you do this, your users will be able to plug that name into their remote
connection sw and be pointed to your server for login.

Thanks for the link Mike.
What i want to know is if there is a way to save that routable FQDN suc
h
that when the click on the URL for the desktop they do not have to type
it
in. They would just be prompted for there network username and password
.

I'm not too sure how exactly you want to set this up, but what i've done for clients in the past has been sign them up for like noip.com that way they go by a url rather than by ip. not sure if this will work in your situation? post some more info on exactly how it is you want them to access their systems. this is typically what i do:

if they have only on public ip by the isp and its not static:
1. I sign them up with noip.com so they have a url to goto instead of an ip address, simplier for the end user.
2. i install and setup thier dynamic ip updater, so if their ip changes it updates the url.
3. if they only have on public ip, i modify the port that rdp is trying to go over, and then i setup port forwarding on the router.
4. to even simplfy it more for the end user i go ahead and create a rdp file for them with the correct url and port, username and all settings. email it to them.
5 all the end user has to do is save the rdp file to their desktop or whereever.as long as they have xp at their home or where ever it is that they are trying to access thier system from, all they have to do is double click on the rdp icon and they get a logon screen (if you didnt save the password in the file) have them type in their password and click ok. they then are in their system.
6. depending on how you configure the rdp file in step 4 they may have access to their local printer from the remote desktop.

I configured my internet connection at home for web connection,
but when i shut down the system to re start, the i was unable to
connect to internet. It keep acquiring IP address. But, when i
connected to my laptop i got connected. Please what can be the
problem.
